We are Fast Tunes, the smallest recording organisation in the world.

Twenty-five years ago, give or take 6 months, vintage telly nerds Gavin Sutherland and Martin Fenton started compiling a list of broadcasting-related things they’d like to record. The running joke was that Martin would put the money down if he ever wanted to hear them.

Twenty-five years later, things having grown out of hand somewhat, we schlepped into Abbey Road Studio 2 with a zonking big band and did ‘em, and eventually Martin somehow wound up with 500 7-inch singles obscuring the view from his flat.

At some point he decided he better start a record company.
